 This Thursday and Friday, national treasures THE JURY & THE SAINTS embark on their headlining, national tour of New Zealand. Oh wait, what? Some punks from Franklin, Tennessee, were handpicked to warm down the crowd afterwards 'cuz no-one wants to go home early on a school-night? Oh yes... PARAMORE. The Jury & The Saints drummer ROWAN CROWE, was kind enough to grace us with his time this week (despite currently babysitting those Paramore kids across the Tasman Sea), to satisfy all of your fan-girl/boy cravings. You can't take your relationship to the next level without first becoming properly acquainted y'know. So! Here we go, word for word... WE ARE... the jury & the saints. rowan from goodnight nurse and jesse from streetwise scarlett. we became dangerously talented for our other bands so we had to break them up and asked an ipod to join our new band cause no other humans were capibal of matching our level of skill base. OUR MUSIC SOUNDS LIKE... sereously it sounds like a wind of success destend for great things. but if i was joking i would probably say that it sounded excatly like paramore but with a way better singer.  [ photographer: Luke Tearle ] YOU'RE GOING TO FALL IN LOVE WITH US BECAUSE... we have had people come up to us after our shows and say that was the funniest thing they have ever witnessed. i like that better than people saying "great beats and riffs". PARAMORE ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE US AGREE TO OPEN FOR THEM BECAUSE... the promoter found us on myspace and liked our songs better that every other band in new zealand and asked us to play. we said we would do it just so we would boost sales for the band. when we got added to the bill the show sold out. cause we are bigtime. paramore need us to survive. BEFORE YOU COME TO OUR NZ TOUR ON THURSDAY & FRIDAY, YOU SHOULD PREPARE BY... going to www.myspace.com/thejuryandthesaints so we can get heaps of plays on the player thing. and so you know the songs to sing too and to mosh heavy too. paramore listen to us so you are all sheep and should do the same thing.  IF YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND, TOGETHER WE WOULD RAID PARAMORE'S CATERING FOR... well at the moment im in australia with them and everyday i steal there box of 'favourites chocolates' and fill it with little salami sticks and i tell people that it isnt salami sticks its my imbelical chord and i have had it since birth. YOU CAN BUY OUR FRIENDSHIP WITH... rom-com dvds, gingernuts, cups of tea, pies and V, jesse loves that drink that got taken off the market called 'tab' so if you could get him that stuff im sure he would urinate on himself in pure joy. even though it was a drink marketed to girls. IF WE HAD A REALITY TV SHOW CALLED 'FAME SEEKERS', IN EACH EPISODE WE WOULD... be going on about how famous we are and how we will probably have to move out of new zealand soon because we keep getting malled by fans when we are doing our local shoping at the fruit store.  WE HATE... people that wear V necks, neclaces and ride fixed gear bikes. WE LOVE... people that wear normal teeshirts have tribal arm bands, wear league shorts and think that they are the man and do really well with chicks. P.S. ALSO APPROVED OF BY THE FUTURE HAYLEY WILLIAMS' OF TOMORROW...  |
